After talking with Lin Zhao from Chengnan Academy, Ming Yi returned to Xinglu Courtyard, and saw that the door was already lit up, and a row of flower cards extended to occupy almost half of the street, and the crowd at the door was surrounded by a lively crowd. Half of the spring in Pingkangfang is here, and the other Qinglou courtyards are silent, just waiting for the guests who can't catch the Oiran to see the excitement, and they will find a gentle township.

Ming Yi squeezed in hard, the two maids at the door checked left and right, and Fang Zheng also personally brought two strong men to maintain order, it can be seen that Xinglu Courtyard can be called the pillar of Pingkangfang, and Yin's mother must also have a lot of work on weekdays.

Ming Yi was not in a hurry to enter, but paid more attention to the people who could enter the flower club. I saw that the visitors all took a red gold name post, and they were allowed to enter after verification, and one person was pasted, which was very strict. Occasionally, there are people with purple celebrities, who can bring one person in, none of the ten, and they are all very noble people.

Mingyi looked at it for a while, and sure enough, people relied on clothes, and most of the clothes that could enter were gorgeous, and they were extraordinary, but she didn't see anyone with an obscene face, and she was inexplicably relieved.

The maid saw Mingyi looking outside, beckoned her in, and said that Mother Yin had prepared her seat.

Mingyi was ushered to a seat on the side of the hall. The hall has also been decorated to make it more lively. Twenty or thirty sets of tables and chairs were placed, two people at a table, four plates of exquisite melons and fruits, a pot and two cups. Some of the first to sit in each other greeted each other, some poured themselves a drink without squinting, and more raised their heads in anticipation and pretended to be calm.

Not long after Mingyi sat down, the maidservant attracted another person, she was a little unhappy, she wanted to watch the excitement quietly, and it was uncomfortable to sit next to a stranger. The man sat down and said with a smile: "I knew that the lady was coming, so I went together." ”

Hearing it familiarly, Ming Yi looked up, but it was Lin Zhao who had just said goodbye. After all, he was not a strange stranger, but he thought of another thing, and wanted to ask him, but he blocked back: "Don't worry, I have painted your stickers, let the students take them back to copy, and they can be sent early tomorrow morning." ”

"Send it directly to my residence in Xinchangfang, Fengfu, and hand it over to Lianshan." Ming Yi saw that he was efficient, and his face was a little softer.

"Ming Niangzi is also interested in the new Oiran?" Lin Zhao squeezed his eyebrows, and his originally small eyes only showed a little essence.

Mingyi was too lazy to say: "Just watch the fun." But Mr. Lin also has the heart to compete? ”

Lin Zhao smiled embarrassedly: "I'm powerless." A year's salary is exchanged for a night's warmth, no matter how beautiful I am, I can't do such a ridiculous thing. It's just that at the invitation of Yin's mother, she came to paint the abundance of the new Oiran. ”

Mingyi understands, this is the so-called media ticket, politely: "That is also Mr. Lin's painting, and there is no other in Chang'an City." ”

Lin Zhao is not modest: "Who should I be." It's a pity that Brother Feiqing is not in Chang'an at the moment, otherwise he would not have missed this event. ”

"Will Xinglu Yuan invite poets to come?" Ming Yi looked left and right, and understood why there were a few people who were not very gorgeously dressed.

Lin Zhao took a sip of wine and pointed out to her: "That's nature, such a grand occasion, how can there be no literati and scholars to write poems and praises." Over there, and that one, they are all famous. ”

Ming Yi saw it, and wrote it down in his heart, don't let Hong Yi choose the wrong person tomorrow night, these talents who linger among the flowers are the most untrustworthy, with a sweet mouth and a slippery tongue, and a thin heart.

The crowd is almost here, and the Oiran officially begins. Mingyi saw Hong Yi standing upstairs with Aoi Niang and Ayaluo, and beckoned. Hong Yi nodded, his face was heavy, and he kept talking to Kwai Niang beside him.

One by one, the six new Oirans took to the stage, playing the piano, singing, or dancing, each showing their strengths. Everyone came on the field, and there was a whisper of whispering off the field, and it seemed that they all had their own goals.

Lin Zhao was on the side, watching and commenting with Ming Yi on the short and long of the Oiran, Ming Yi listened to it, although he felt that he was sharp, but he was uncomfortable. A beautiful girl with exquisite carving, who is picked with this leg length and that eye, is estimated which one can be sold at the highest price, and it is not a taste in my heart. But at this time, the fate of these little ladies has already been decided, and she can only be a bystander.

Ming Yi was upset and interrupted him: "Don't you have to draw it?" ”

Lin Zhao looked proud: "I just need to take a look, and when I go back at night, I will naturally draw these beauties and put them on paper." In this way, I can sit on six people in one night for the Spring Festival that the guests bought with their daughters. ”

Ming Yi couldn't drink the wine, and he felt more and more obscene when he looked at him, and it was not easy to be sarcastic when he asked for help, so he had to comfort himself, no matter how lustful and obscene Lin Zhao was, he was always a frank and real villain, and those gentlemen who seemed to be in a proper manner, they didn't know how dirty they were in their minds.

After the six little ladies finished performing, a column stood on the stage. Mother Yin presided over the Oiran and took turns to introduce the age and origin of the little lady, which is really like a modern place of sound and color.

The audience began to call the price, not noisy, and called the little guy to whisper, and the little guy conveyed it again, Yin's mother smiled, and did not say the name of the guest, only read the price code. No one added the size to send the little lady directly to the guest table of the Oiran in the order, and sat with the wine.

Those who hit the point are happy to raise their eyebrows, squint at everyone, and enjoy the taste of envy.

Some people who fancy were ordered, felt ashamed, and left the table silently. Most of them are still kept, and then continue to bid.

In this way, the six of them all belonged, and Yin's mother called the six away again and covered them with red veils with her own hands: "These six are like my own daughters, tonight's big night, I hope that your aunts will have pity." If there is friendship, and I can look down on my daughter, I will redeem her tomorrow, I will give her a dowry, and half of the money will be used for the flower banquet and rice, so as to add blessings and longevity to my uncle. ”

Mother Yin said, her eyes were full of tears, and the six little ladies all bowed their heads to wipe away their tears, for most Oiran, this was probably their only chance to jump out of the fire pit.

Ming Yi sighed in her heart, although Yin's mother has been in the dust for a long time, she still has good thoughts, which is also the biggest concession she can make as a businessman. If you change yourself, you will see more death, life and death, and you will fall into the mud, and you may not be able to keep this heart, after all, it is easier and calmer to make yourself numb.

Ming Yi couldn't help but ask Lin Zhao: "Every year, have you ever seen someone who can redeem himself for the Oiran on the second day?" ”

Lin Zhao was already slightly drunk: "But there are a lot, after all, they are Qing people, and there are always one or two who can be redeemed every year, or as concubines or maids." But it's not necessarily better to redeem yourself than to stay here. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ming Yi always felt that even if he was a maid, it was better than a pair of jade arms and a thousand pillows.

"Man, redeeming oneself may not mean liking it, but I don't care about this bit of silver, and I don't want to touch it for others again. After going back, there were those who committed suicide because they were bullied by their wives and concubines, and those who sold them to others after a year or two, and those who stayed in the house for fun, and no one would ask if they were tortured to death. You say, is it fortunate or unlucky? "I drank too much, and Lin Zhao's words became more.

Ming Yigang's heart was completely cold, and under the protection of Yin's mother, he could finally have a way to live. He also raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.
